To Those Who Are Waiting For Him

Hebrews 9:27-28 (NIV) "Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him."

He Is Faithful

1 Thessalonians 5:16-24, 27 (GNT) "Be joyful always, pray at all times, be thankful in all circumstances.  This is what God wants from you in your life in union with Christ Jesus.  Do not restrain the Holy Spirit; do not despise inspired messages.  Put all things to the test: keep what is good and avoid every kind of evil.  May the God who gives us peace make you holy in every way and keep your whole being-spirit, soul and body-free from every fault at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  He who calls you will do it, because He is faithful...I urge you by the authority of the Lord to read this letter to all the believers."

The Holy Spirit

John 14:16-17  (Jesus said) "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever - the Spirit of Truth.  The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him.  But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you."

Here Is the Road. Follow It.

Isaiah 30:20-21 (GNT)  "The Lord will make you go through hard times, but He Himself will be there to teach you, and you will not have to search for Him any more.  If you wander off the road to the right or the left, you will hear His voice behind you saying, 'Here is the road. Follow it'."

Emmanuel, God With Us

Matthew 1:23 (GNT) "A virgin will become pregnant and have a son, and He will be called Immanuel" (which means, "God is with us").  ----  Imagine if we could go through life with Jesus by our side, all day, every day: advising us, blessing us, showing us the right choices to make, the right way to go in all our decisions, comforting us in times of sorrow, being with us when we're alone, sharing our joys and victories -- Who would not want the Almighty Creator as their daily coach and companion? And the truth is---we do have Him with us! He is right beside us always, holding our hand, embracing us, guiding us!  Wow! And all we have to do is realize it! And talk to Him! To me, that is also one of the greatest gifts He gives us.

He Is All I Ever Need

Psalms 73:22-26 (GNT) "...I did not understand You. Yet I always stay close to You and You hold me by the hand.  You guide me with Your instruction and at the end You will receive me with honor.  What else do I have in heaven but You?  Since I have You, what else could I want on earth? My mind and my body may grow weak, but God is my strength; He is all I ever need."
